Buttons On Buttons

January 31, 2018

Breaking news: it’s hot in LA, in case you haven’t heard. Not quite sure where else in the world it’s possible to wear mini skirts in January (except maybe Australia), but it’s basically full blown summer here. While I love to complain about LA and the heat and constant sunshine, I’m sure my California born-and-bred bones would crumble to dust instantly if I ever experienced truly cold weather. I don’t think the handful of times I’ve gone snowboarding or romped around in early season East-coast snowfall actually counts. Snow is like, so cute though – am I right Californians?

I so desperately want to hop on the puffy jacket train, but for the amount of time that it would sit in the back of my closet, it would be stupid for me to even consider buying one. For now, I’ll embrace my mini hemlines and light layers. I’ve been super into oversized buttons on everything lately – I think they add such a cool detail to an otherwise basic piece, so I just had to layer together this button top and skirt from Free People, for one of those ‘scorching in the sun, cold in the shade’ days. It’s a hard life, but somebody has to do it.
